FRANCIS BRETT YOUNG
Author of _Marching on Tanga_, etc.
_The Young Physician_ is the history of the formative years of a boy
who, after leaving one of our public schools, decides more from force
of circumstances than from inclination to enter the medical profession.
Side-light is thrown upon our educational system in the first part
of the book, which is devoted to home and school life; while in the
second, the impressions and experiences which went to the moulding of
his character are presented side by side with a picture of student life
at the Midland Hospital where he pursues his medical curriculum. The
success of such a book lies no less in its truth to life than in its
ability to entertain the reader, both of which conditions are fulfilled
in Major Brett Young’s new novel where, once again, the author breaks
entirely new ground.

THE PLAIN GIRL’S TALE
By H. H. BASHFORD
_The Plain Girl’s Tale_, by H. H. Bashford, is the longest novel
that the author of _The Corner of Harley Street_ has yet written,
and the first that he has produced since the publication of _Pity
the Poor Blind_, six years ago. Though dealing with the adventures
and development of a girl of the artisan class in various spheres of
contemporary life, it stands apart from the war and is in no sense
merely topical. In the delineation of the central character, through
whose eyes most of the action of the novel is seen, the author has
endeavoured to expand the ethical theme that was the basis of his
previous novel.
